	Since NetBSD uses ELF format binary shared objects now, I'm wondering
if programs which load their own modules, like apache or Asterisk, can load
binary shared objects which were built for FreeBSD or Linux, assuming those
modules do not depend on library calls wich are only available in the
compatibility libraries for those respective operating systems.  The reason
I ask is that I need to buy a softwaremodule for Asterisk, which I've
compiled and am running under NetBS-1.6.1, but I'm concerned that the
module, which comes as a binary module, was compiled for FreeBSD or Linux,
I'm not sure which.
